Playing out accurately and keeping the ball will be critical tonight. I haven't seen Roberts put in any-good balls so far. I see him get caught out a lot. Fozzy defo needs to start. Give Roberts a wake up call early. He wasn't very good IMO on Saturday. LazloW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job is to be in a position to receive the ball, retain it, turn if possible and move the ball quickly into and through midfield or if prefereable to the situation put the pass down the line. His role is to drop into midfield not bomb on and put crosses in. This tactic is different to last season when the full backs went on the overlap and put in crosses. This season our two wingers are just that, traditional wingers. Im not saying the fullbacks can never overlap if the play dictates it right to do so but its not their primary role. therealhantsram, dajstrawb, brady1993 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, But if his job isn't too overlap and his job is to defend, as already said Fozzy is a better Defender. I just don't see Roberts as an improvement on what we already have.

I just don't see Roberts as an improvement on what we already have. Dont think Fozzy is that much better defensively to be honest. Still his job is to do more than defend, on the ball we are using the full backs heavily as auxiliary midfielders alongside Bird to help instigate the play. It's why Knight has been particularly effective in the role. Roberts looked a good fit there preseason and has done OK so far with some minor hiccups. But Fozzy frankly can't really play that role. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has the attributes to do that role and it would allow back Knight into midfield. I don’t know enough to 100% agree but Tommo can tackle and won’t let his man go. It could be worth a punt. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because you have a fan who posts bellicose inflammatory statements on social media. Buying a ticket in a none designated spot is one thing. Threatening violence is an entirely different thing.

We are bits from a jigsaw jumbled in a box with less time to arrange ourselves than everyone else in our division. Give them some more games to get to know each other and we will see more cohesion and improved fitness levels. Remember going to big school ? It took time you get to know people and shine. Give the bloke a chance to settle in and show what he can do. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
